Hi, I'm Shonda! Welcome to Knowlton Nest. Nice to meet you! I started my blog commencing the birth of my first son in 2008. From there I started visiting other blogs and have found a wonderful world of new online friends. I have had so much fun reading about the lives of others and getting ideas for my life.
I have since expanded my blog to include things in my life that are important or what I think you might be interested in reading or learning.
Here are few examples of what I like to blog about:
*Faith- Gratituesday, God's Nuggets
*Cooking-Ginger Peanut Chicken
*Organizing- Spring Green Cleaning
*Being a mom- Tot school
*Book reviews and reading goals- Booking It, Book Reviews -this is my first one (I just joined Booksneeze- bloggers read free books and review on their blog, see my button)
*Giveaways- I post about giveaways that I come across and I will have some of my own!
Also, you can check out my new adventure for teaching- Milk N' Honey.
I'm still working out some kinks and adding new things all the time. I look forward to getting to know you better. I also try to make my posts short, but significant. God Bless, Shonda
PS. Feel free to grab my new button (my husband made the nest for my son's room and my friend Donnetta created the button) or become a follower.
PSS.I was pretty shy about joining the party, but I saw the banner on a recent blog and thought I would check it out. I honestly did not know I would be having SO MUCH FUN meeting so many new "blog" friends. I respond to every comment and check out your blog too.
There are many prizes to be won at this years Ultimate Blog Party, but my top 3 picks would be...US 10 – Young Living Essential Oils Stress Away Roll-On , US 18 – Goodie Basket for Mom, USC 29 – For one winner a set of two multi-language format children’s DVD’s (includes American Sign Language) from Little Leaders: Little Noah, Learn About Animals and Little Moses, Learn to Count for ages 9 months and up.
And if my top 3 picks are chosen I would like the following- US 79- A surprise jar of KindNotes, INTL 9 – 10 winners will receive two ebooks: Pretty.Cool. Cakes: A Baker’s Dozen of Themed Birthday Cake Ideas and FishMama’s Guide to Cooking with Children.

It's funny how we can start out so simply but then our blogs take on a life of their own! Stopping by from UBP 2010! So nice to meet you!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by! It is always nice to meet other 30+ moms. Happy UBP!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the follow! I am following back and excited to meet you. Enjoy the UBP!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you joined in and weren't too shy after all! There's no need with bloggers, we all love to "meet" other people. I think that's one of the main drives for many bloggers to share and learn more from each other.
ReplyDeleteHi Shonda,
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you. This party is really fun. It's my third year doing this and it's a blast partying all week long. Happy partying!
Hi, Shonda. I'm continuing to make the rounds of the UBP, and I hope you'll be able to stop by my place, too (#225): http://tinahollenbeck.blogspot.com/2010/04/2010-ultimate-blog-party.html. Your son is adorable. I am also a former school teacher, now at home.
